This imposing gateway lies in the heart of Hyderabad’s Old City, and is now the city’s best-known symbol. It was built by Mohammad Quli Qutub Shah in 1591 to commemorate the end of a plague in the city. The name refers to its four beautiful minarets, which rise to a height of 20 metres above the roof. These are supported by four arches which enclose the piazza below. There is a mosque on the second floor, the oldest in the city. To explore the surrounding area, take the guided heritage walk organised by Andhra Pradesh Tourism, every Sunday morning.

The beautiful four-column, 56m-high structure has four arches facing the cardinal points, with minarets atop each column. It stands at the heart of Hyderabad's most atmospheric area, a labyrinth of lanes crowded with shops, stalls, markets and shoppers. Read full review
